Edinburgh &
Stirling CastlesScotland's most imposing royal strongholds both
stand on pedestals of rock formed by extinct volcanoes. Each is approached by
rising ground formed of sediment deposited by glaciers that flowed past them
during the ice ages. Between them they preserve in stone the record of many of
the most dramatic events in the nation's past.

Glamis
CastleThe Scots Baronial style of architecture evolved during the
Middle Ages, and the castle of Glamis in Angus is perhaps its supreme
masterpiece. Expanded over a period of centuries, and now preserved by its
owners today so that even its ghosts have been happy to stay

Culzean
CastleIn the 18th century the chiefs of the ancient Kennedy and
Campbell clans, both perhaps of British descent, built new castles for
themselves in the Celtic west. The 9th Earl of Cassellis commissioned Robert
Adam to transform his mansion on the cliffs of Culzean into one of the
masterpieces of his genius.

Dunrobin
CastleAt opposite ends of Scotland stand two ducal mansions of
astonishing magnificence. Dunrobin was originally a mediaeval castle,
transformed in the mid-19th century into what might be mistaken for a French
chateau.
